Reviews
Paula
What a beautiful mountain home! Our family of 8 had such a wonderful time making memories. The location is close to a winery, shops, gem mining, hiking, and downtown Banner Elk but it feels so secluded. We enjoyed the area but made sure to spend most of our time at the house making s'mores, playing pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and hanging out on the deck with the gorgeous view. It is also pet-friendly and we appreciated being able to bring our dog and she loved the deer and hiking. The house is well stocked, it was easy check-in/out, and the hosts were very friendly and responsive. We can't wait to go back!

- American Cancer Society

Do not leave food or trash outside, as it could attract animals. All trash must be bagged and placed in the trash receptacle indicated in the Welcome Book inside the house or your digital guidebook.
The property is set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a STARTER SET of toilet tissue, paper towels, bath toiletries, dish soap, and trash bags. This is enough for one or two nights, but if you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.
We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
This home comes equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crockpots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item, it is best to bring that from your home.
This home is not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items, including plastic wrap or foil.
